U+9D51 "鵑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9D51 "鵑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Traditional Chinese character representing the cuckoo bird, specifically known as the "cuckoo" or "nightjar" in English, and it is pronounced "juān" in Mandarin. This ideograph is composed of a bird radical on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its classification within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script system. In classical Chinese poetry and literature, 鵑 often carries symbolic associations with sorrow, longing, or the arrival of spring, as the cuckoo's call is traditionally linked to melancholy themes. The character is also used in the term "杜鵑" (dùjuān), which can refer to both the bird and the azalea flower, adding a layer of botanical and cultural significance to its meaning.
